Doing 2 films doesn't mean they're going to lift the plot from the books, word for word (which is a good thing imo).
I think we've seen this coming for a long time - ever since she & Bill were ommitted from
Half-Blood Prince. I think it will be Lupin/Tonks getting married.

See how important she is?
Her place can easily be substituted by Tonks. It's not necessary that it's Fleur. Her purpose can be served by someone else.

DH is split into two movies... to stay truer to the books right? Why cut her out then?
Being faithful and literal aren't the same thing. As it stands, the film audience won't have much knowledge of Bill & Fleur as a couple, so it makes sense to leave them out or replace them.

They said they wouldn't take anything out of Deathly Hallows.
No, they didn't. In fact, when asked, David Heyman said 2 films didn't mean everything would be included. By definition, an adaptation cannot simply duplicate the novel.

This shouldn't be on your news page as it's just made up gossip.
That may be true however what we've heard in the past indicates this to be true. At the end of the day, if it's made up, that buck falls down to the people who made the claim first.
